Evaluation of water-quality characteristics of part of the Spokane Aquifer, Washington and Idaho, using a solute-transport digital model
J. J. Vaccaro, E.L. Bolke
1983, Open-File Report 82-769
The principal dissolved constituents in water in the Spokane aquifer are calcium and bicarbonate. These constituents (as well as dissolved solids, hardness, and magnesium) each correlate well with specific conductance, whereas chloride, sodium, and nitrate each do not. Specific conductance ranges from 73 to 820 micromhos per centimeter throughout the...

Preliminary stage-discharge relations for Tombigbee River at Gainesville Dam, near Gainesville, Alabama
G. H. Nelson, C. O. Ming
1983, Open-File Report 83-942
The construction of Gainesville Dam and other related channel alterations, completed in 1979, has resulted in changes to the stage-discharge relations in the vicinity. The lack of current-meter measurements, coupled with backwater conditions, makes definition of a single stage-discharge relation impossible. However, limit curves can be defined that would encompass...

Distribution of chloride concentrations in the principal aquifers of the New Jersey coastal plain, 1977-81
F. L. Schaefer
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4061
The U.S. Geological Survey maintains a saltwater monitoring network in New Jersey to document and evaluate the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers that serve as sources of water supply. Areas in the Coastal Plain with existing or potential saltwater intrusion are delineated. Data collected through 1981 indicate that...

Preliminary surficial geologic map of the Fisher Valley-Professor Valley area, southeastern Utah
Steven M. Colman, Fred F. Hawkins
1983, Open-File Report 83-58
This map was constructed to document the distribution and character of the late Cenozoic deposits in the Fisher Valley-Professor Valley area. The map area includes the central portion of one of the long northwest-trending salt-cored anticlines of the Paradox Basin. The map area contains Fisher Valley, formed by collapse of...

Alteration and vein mineralization, Schwartzwalder uranium deposit, Front Range, Colorado
Alan R. Wallace
1983, Open-File Report 83-417
The Schwartzwalder uranium deposit, in the Front Range west of Denver, Colorado, is the largest vein-type uranium deposit in the United States. The deposit is situated in a steeply dipping fault system that cuts Proterozoic metamorphic rocks. The host rocks represent a submarine volcanic system with associated chert and iron-...
Hydrology of the Newberry Volcano caldera, Oregon
E.A. Sammel, R. W. Craig
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4091
Precipitation in the Newberry Caldera is very nearly in balance with evaporation, evapotranspiration, and streamflow. Calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate ions predominate in the more dilute ground and surface water. Thermal waters from springs and wells have concentrations of 900 milligrams per liter or more and are characterized by high concentrations...

Man-induced channel adjustment in Tennessee streams
C. H. Robbins, Andrew Simon
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4098
Channel modifications in Tennessee, particularly in the western part, have led to large-scale instabilities in the channelized rivers and may have contributed to several bridge failures. These modifications, together with land-use practices, led to downcutting, headward erosion, downstream aggradation, accelerated scour, and bank instabilities. Changes in gradient by channel straightening...
Geophysical and geologic studies in southern Mecklenburg County and vicinity, North Carolina and South Carolina
Frederick A. Wilson
1983, Open-File Report 83-93
Geophysical methods consisting of gravity, aeromagnetics and aeroradioactivity have been applied to part of the Charlotte and Carolina slate belts in southern Mecklenburg County and vicinity to help interpret geology, lithology and structure. High aeroradioactivity is associated with potassium-rich granitic plutons, muscovite-rich gneisses, schists, and metavolcanic rocks; positive gravity and...
